Neurodivergent- with special guest DeAnna Petruch

Nerd of Godcast

This episode we talk to DeAnna Petruch, author of KidMin Pocket Guide: Neurodivergent Kids. We’ll talk about some of our favorite characters who are on the spectrum, about how neurodivergence shows up in nerd culture and media, and about what the church can do to better love and disciple neurodivergent kids (and teens and adults, too.)

We’ll also explore how representation can shape understanding, discuss the difference between helpful portrayals and harmful stereotypes, and share practical ways ministries and communities can become more inclusive and affirming.

PLUS—our King of All Nerds: Best Thing Ever bracket marches on, and we throw down a special 2 Question Interview all about Man's Best Friend… his cell phone.

Funny, thoughtful, nerdy, and heartfelt—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
